“So I see you brought the cavalry.” Dry, Jaime’s tone was like ice the moment we approached where he’d been waiting. His eyes were hard—set on me, something Maya didn’t miss.

Her body tensed. I could feel her change in demeanor. From a nonchalant attitude when she dealt with Bryn, to now, fucking white-hot ire.

“Why in the blue hell are we here again?” She didn’t whisper this. Jaime looked embarrassed by my Bitty’s words, couldn’t be clearer that it was meant for more than just my ears.

Lance chuckled while Simon bumped fists were her. Their women were silent. This shit was not going to end well.

The asshat on the other end couldn’t hide that he was surprised by my girl’s—all of their presence. His face lost all his hostility. Instead, what stood before me almost looked repentant.

“Answer the lady, Cruz. Why are we here?” My tone was acidic. I’d never done a fucking thing to this man. Hell, he’d become Janice’s go-to fuck buddy after I’d touched her.

Long…long after, and not for his lack of trying either.

Those once-cold eyes locked onto my hands, hands that now engulfed one of Maya’s and ran soothing circles across her knuckles.

“Maya Owens, I presume?” Low, Jaime spoke almost too low for any one of us to understand. “Talan’s Maya.”

Bitty pulled on my hand, gaining my attention. “What’s with everyone presuming to know shit about us?”

Leave it to her to crack the room up. Well, everyone but our host.

“Don’t know, babe. Annoying habit, though.” Leaning down a bit, I kissed her forehead and turned to look at a now red-in-the-face Jaime. “Want to explain how you know her full name? Why in the blue fuck do you have information on her?”

“Janice.” One word. That was all I needed to know to understand.

At the mere mention of her name, every muscle in my body tightened. Blood rushed through my veins; a volcanic surge that shook me to my core.

There was no denying how much I hated that bitch.

“What the fuck did she say to you?” Letting go of my girl’s hand, I stalked toward him and grabbed him by the throat. Squeezed down just enough to make him know I wasn’t here to play games. I’d beat the information out of him if pushed. “All of it. I need to know every fucking thing.”

“Baby,” Maya yelled out, her hand coming to grab my arm and pulling with all her might. I didn’t budge. “Please don’t. I’m begging you to let him talk…I can’t have this prick call the cops on you.” Her fear. Palpable and choking the breath out of me. Felt like that first night she woke up in the hospital after her attack. “I need you.”

With a hard push, I let him go and brought her against my chest. “Sorry, Bitty.”

She nodded against me. “If something happens and you…”

“Hey,” I spoke against the crown of her head, “look at me.” Refusing to budge, I held her tighter while rocking her from side to side. “Me and you, baby girl.
